Award-winning Nottingham IT firm becomes East Midlands Chamber patron

Your IT Department has been announced as a patron of East Midlands Chamber.

The Nottingham-based IT support firm is sponsoring the Small Business of the Year Award at the Chamber’s Nottinghamshire Business Awards for 2025/26, a category the firm won itself in 2015, before also winning the Excellence in Customer Service Award in 2022.

As a patron, the business will be able to benefit from increased marketing opportunities and networking with the region’s business community.

Founded in 2009, Your IT Department supports more than 110 East Midlands businesses and over 2,200 individual staff. The company has also achieved global recognition in the MSP 501 Awards, which rank the world’s leading Managed Service Providers.

East Midlands Chamber Chief Executive Scott Knowles said: Following tremendous success at the Chamber’s Nottinghamshire Business Awards in 2015 and 2022, I am delighted to welcome Your IT Department both as a sponsor of the 2025/26 Business Awards and as a patron of the Chamber, where I look forward to closer collaboration.

“Having impressed the judging panel and winning categories at the Chamber Business Awards in 2015 and 2022, this is a forward-thinking business that the region can be proud of.”

 

Your IT Department Head of Sales and Marketing Craig Pearson said: “Our growth as an East Midlands business, the recognition we’ve received through the Chamber Business Awards and our strong roots in Nottingham make becoming a patron of East Midlands Chamber a real endorsement of our journey.

“Winning Small Business of the Year in 2015, followed by the Excellence in Customer Service Award in 2022 were proud milestones for us. Sponsoring one of those categories in 2025/26 – Small Business of the Year – felt like a meaningful way to give something back to the local business community.

“We often describe ourselves as a customer service company that happens to know a lot about technology, so being recognised with the Excellence in Customer Service Award was especially important. It was a moment for the whole team to celebrate the hard work and commitment that goes into supporting our clients every day.”

 

 

The 2025/26 Nottinghamshire Business Awards take place at Nottingham Belfry on 12th March 2026.
